Endless R34 GTR street spec from Osaka Auto Messe

Hi Guys, well I have had a few people email me asking to make the images bigger on the blog, so from now on images will all be in a nice big resolution :) and to see what we mean, have a look at the car below....tissue on standby! ;) (Also this car is now up for sale.....contact me rick (at) endless-r.co.jp...no spaces if your interested.

I have now recovered from the alcohol abuse, so have some time to upload a few more photos of the automesse. So here are some more pics, with more to come......Drip feed anyone? :)
Carbon prop shaft for a number of cars, uses new type of carbon, and not like the older models which are loaded in resin. This is rated to 1200hp and for supra, skyline, silvia etc etc pretty much got a model for most Japanese cars.

Guys from Norway flew over to see us and the cars, here they are with Houdatchi and Sugino san.....I have other photos to show you how we looked later in the evening!

"There she blows captain" in all her glory, the cars name is "baku" which is Japanese creature and whoes name means "eater of dreams".....something we hope will be carried to the circuit.

Beer and Osaka

Hi All, well I am sorry to say I have been physically forced to have too many beers tonight (so much so that I recollect eating octopus) than I can only physically manage to upload a few photos as for you all as my room spins around my head while I sit stationary and type to you all...safe to say you know where I am at....:)
So no beating about the bush here is I hope 10 photos, of osaka auto messe, more tomorrow (I have been told by the police (girlfriend) I cannot drink on saturday) so more will come tomorrow.

Osaka Auto Messe 2009

Well we have just got back from setting up the Osaka Auto Messe stand, and its bigger and better than last year.

We have all the turbos on the stand, from trust Holset/Endless and HKS T62R although there is only one turbo on the stand that can flow 1200hp and as kryten from Red Dwarf would say, "you bet you ass" its not HKS T62. Which despite all the early claimes by HKS it can`t actually hit the 1200ps it was claimed to do so. Heres why, the HKS T62-R turbo can flow a maximum of 1620cfm which when divided by 1.45 gives the HP figure, then multiply that by 1.0139 to give you the PS if needed, for thoes of you who cant be arsed to work that out I will do it for you :) HKS T62 turbo can only provide enough air for 1117hp/1133ps where as the new holset endless turbo will keep you drag boys happy, as it flows 1744cfm which is 1202hp/1220ps.

The R34 above is finished, so now off to the Osaka Auto Messe, (now it 1:22am, so I am shagged out but I will take many photos tomorrow and upload them throughout the day).

Keep a look out tomorrow.

T90-R Turbo Charger

This is a shot of the new billet forged compressor wheel for the new T90-R turbocharger.
The Billet machined compressor wheel is new in the turbo charging industry.
This + the high flow compressor housing allows for high speed spool up and high boost applications. Such as the low mount 800ps twin turbo set up for the RB26 we are workin on. with partners Holset.

WERE BACK!!!!!!

Well I am glad to say, after some internet issues with the local provider and my PC having s battle with some tea, we are finally back.....and boy have we got some interesting things coming this way.....firstly were pleased to announce we are working with turbo maker Holset on a performance range, both for twin and single setups.

Turbos will be appearing at the Osaka Auto Messe.
To the left is the T90-R Prototype with the Trust T88-38GK turbo in the centre and the special T100-R on the right. (there will be several other turbo models available, including a low mount high pressure ratio (4.0) setup with highflow compressor housing and 175,000rpm balancing due to the billet compressor wheel, as an example HKS GT2530 has a PR=2.5/RPM=144,000.
All the new range features a machined billet compressor wheels as apposed to the normal forged cast wheels that are found on other turbos. This with the compressor housing allows for some very high pressure ratios and large turbo maps.

As an Example,
HKS T62R has a max PR of 4.3, where as our new turbo will achieve a PR of 5.0. This allows our
HKS T62R can flow around 1300CFM (M3/s) T100-R will flow 1660(M3/s)

Very sexy photo ;)

HKS DRAG R32 GTR

On the 14th of March 1995 HKS racing division once again gave the keys over to their drag machine test driver 川崎哲哉さん　"Kawasaki Tetsuya San" who was to defend his crown in the RRC championship at Sendai (North Japan). The car had been increased in power from 600ps in 1994 to 800ps @ 8,500rpm and were now running a compression ratio of 9.0 with a 6 speed transmission plus a set of Garrett GT2540R turbos running 2.0kgm of boost.

8.655 was the outcome!

More photos coming tomorrow of the car :)

Today at the shop

Today at the shop, I watched Houdatchi install another Vcam system on a customers R32 GTR.
Engine is normal 2568cc RB26DETT, but we today added HKS Vcam, HKS Fcon V Pro, HKS and upped injector cc. Responce when the vcam is switched on, is compleatly different. Without vcam in 5th @ 4,000rpm the RB26DETT feels like it struggles alot. Flip the Vcam on, and very different, like add a few extra CCs of displacement that you didnt have before :)
最近Vカムがきてます！今日はR３２へのインストールです！ノーマルRB２６エンジンですが、さすがHKS Vカム、高いだけあります。まったく違ったエンジンに豹変させます・・・
4000回転くらいでのもたつきが飛んで行きまして、びゅうんびゅうん吹けます！！


おまけ　カーボン

back :)

Hello all, sorry for the delay in updates on the blog....we have been very very busy with some new parts design, a new Vcam GTR, committing to the Osaka auto messe in Feb and also I have been given slightly over 1000 very old photos form Sugino san. Here is the pile of ones I want to share with you, looks like I am in for a long week of editing..lol

ちょっと更新滞ってしまいました。
ＨＫＳ Ｖカムインストール、新しいパーツのデザイン、オートメッセのことやらで忙殺されておりました。
それと、エンドレスの（社長の？）ちょっぴり昔が分かる写真がわんさか出てきたので、チェックして、笑って、感心して、笑ってと・・・こっちに時間をとられていたのは秘密。

This is old photo showing Trust old twin drag manifold setup.

今では見られないツインターボのレイアウトですねー

Endless second tuning shop, Opened in 1993, and to celebrate we had one of HKS Original Zero-R cars in the shop, and Trust drag R32. (HKS and Trust....great competitors.....if one does something for us, the other demands we have their goods/demo car too...haha)

ＨＫＳのＺＥＲＯ－Ｒ、ＴＲＳＵＴのドラッグＲ３２との顔合わせ・・・


Our prototype design manifold, this was compleated back in 1992, Turbo is an IHI but back then tuning was still in its infancy, we didnt have the hugh choice of giant turbos / wastegates we have now, this kit was for around 700hp and only need 2 tiny wastegates!
More tomorrow:
マニの試作品です。1992当時はこんなことをしていました♪結構先進的だったのです！
